The Sabbath Holiday (1) Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on Sep 8, 2014

The Royal Lineage Of The Lord Jesus (Matthew 1:1-18)

Matthew wastes no time in establishing his case to prove that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah and the heir to David's throne as the true king of Israel. His opening statement reads as follows: "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of ...read more
